Time to get that perfect body!

I'm sorry I didn't know how to bump my thread so I closed the original one and reopened another thread.

--------------------
Well, I got myself measured today.
At 170cm tall, I weight 72.6kg and have a 18% bodyfat percentage with a BMR of about 1780 kcal.

I'm not fat per se, but I want that 6 pack to show. I lost a lot of weight (10kg) last summer after my first year at uni in the UK because I came home fat and my parents didn't recognize me. So far I have maintained a fluctuating weight of between 68kg-72kg. I went back for 2nd year and maintained a good routine all year long with a proper diet. Only problem is my regular intake of alcohol. I'm a student. Go figure.

Today's my rest day so tomorrow's workout will be posted. Currently on a 3 days on 1 day off routine.

Day 1 : Chest
Day 2 : Core (Heavy deads & abs)
Day 3 : Back
Day 4 : Rest day
Day 5 : Shoulders
Day 6 : Legs
Day 7 : Arms

I used to take the piss out of people who had an "arm day". But recently I figured, why not? Throw in some ab work at the end as well. Any suggestions

Offtopic: I think i f'-ed up my rotator cuff a few days ago from trying to bench too heavy for too many reps alone. I can't do pullups cause it hurts when I raise my arms, when benching, it hurts like crazy when the bar goes down to my chest. Tried an overhead press and that hurts too. Is it a rotator cuff injury?

Also, I wanted to get on the 1x20 squat routine. But I figured I want to lose all the bodyfat first. Worry about the 6 week 1x20 squat routine when I get back to the UK, when its colder and I don't need to worry about a summer body.

Looking forward to positive feedback!

[addedon]August 9, 2011, 1:24 pm[/addedon]So I’ve been out of commission for the past 2-3 weeks, went for acupuncture and was advised to stay out of the gym. Deepest apologies. Yesterday I hit the gym and was surprised. Broke a personal record.

Deadlift
60kg x 15
80kg x 10
100kg x 8
120kg x 3
140kg x 1 (PERSONAL BEST. Previous was 130kg)

It felt pretty easy but was pretty knackered from a long day at work so I just did a 1 rep max and moved on.

Shrugs
60kg x 15
70kg x 12
80kg x 10
90kg x 8

I normally work my core along with deadlifts but I was feeling a little itchy for some arm work.

Underhand Grip Pullups
BW x 10 for 3 sets

Dumbbell curls
30lbs x 12 for 4 sets

Cable bicep curl
12.5kg x 20
17.5kg x 15
21.5kg x 10

That’s about it

On a quest for greatness!

Lifting Chalk

Aaron33 — Wed, 25 May 2011 21:40:34 +0800

Anyone know where I can purchase some chalk? My hands always get sweaty during heavy deadlifting sessions and I'll end up having to put the weight back on the ground to adjust my grip and it gets pretty annoying. I don't want to use gloves cause they don't aid your grip strength. I have lifting straps but I'd rather just use chalk.

Snow Leopard OS-X causes Airport issues?

Aaron33 — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:37:13 +0800

So, I bought a 15" Macbook Pro from Apple Malaysia over a month ago, and it arrived within 1 day of shipping. Loved the efficiency.

However, since last night I have been unable to connect to the internet via wireless. I tried it at home after dinner and it connects to my home network, but, I can't browse! Tried restarting 5-6 times, same with the router, but it just didn't work. Brought it into work today to test it out, and it also connects to the office network without issues, but I am unable to browse.

Have been googling it for the past 1-2 hours (gaji buta ), and it seems a lot of people have issues with their Airport connectivity after upgrading their OS to Snow Leopard. Problem is, my connectivity was just fine all day up till after dinner Also, I recently installed starcraft 2 on it because I my gaming PC is in the UK (pursuing degree). Could the recent overheating graphics card problem have caused my network card to function strangely? Though I did run the hardware test and it said that everything is working fine.

Called apple through the number posted on apple malaysia and I was forwarded to a call center in INDIA, ( ) with someone who thinks it's my first time with computers and made me do stuff like "restart the computer, what happens now?" which further agitated me cause that was all he could advise me on.

Has anyone experienced this, and knows what to do?
